When he first came to the county, he was devastatingly good, but he just looks like a shell of his former self now. He was devastatingly good last week when he set 3 United goals up in the space of 10 minutes when Michael Carrick bollocked the United team at half time and told them to go for it. Man United is less about individual brilliance and more about what the manager wants to see. Hence why you see 2 defensive midfielders at home in a Champions League game they need to score in. Sanchez cant really do much when you see his heat map and it shows he's spending most of his time on the left hand side of the halfway line.

Mr_Danger Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Danny Murphy says Rafa would be a great choice of next manager for Arsenal. Personally I still love Rafa but he's not exactly evolved with the way football is played. Given the tools he'd compete for top 4 but even Jose struggles to run games with the 6 and 4 approach to setting a team up and Arsenal fans wouldn't know what's hit them watching some of the football that style produces. I think it's best for all concerned if they just poach B-Rodg from beyond the wall instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 Arsenal's problem has been at the back for years. I don't think Rafa is a crazy suggestion. He'd sort them out from the back first, play a system that allows them to be solid and wouldn't hold back the attacking players - albeit he'd demand more from them. I think the suggestion that he's no evolved is harsh considering how many teams use the 4-2-3-1 he loved a decade ago. If there are any questions of him as a coach or a motivator I think you just look at the suggestion that clubs want to pay £20m for Jamaal Lascelles or the work Mo Diame is putting in with and without the ball.

Mr_Danger Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Oh he's absolutely still a very good manager and is doing great work at Newcastle but he's not exactly doing anything with them that Woy, Pards, and Big Sam haven't done in the past. Getting a bunch of shit players to form a team that performs better than the sum of its parts should be like child's play to a guy like Rafa. I think Arsenal should have gotten a guy like Tuchel last season. They desperately need a trailblazer to come in and shake everything up.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well Tuchel is apparently a no-go as everyone has reported that he's joining PSG next season. That's a double blow, as it also rules out somewhere for Wenger to move to. That does leave Unai Emery available. We could certainly do worse. It's moot anyway, until next year when Wenger's contract is up again, and he'll just decide to offer himself another 2 year contract. Even Niall Quinn sacked himself as manager while he was also Sunderland chairman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefcase Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Arsenal were also linked to the Monaco coach who has done really well but would be just be another Wenger? (developing talent, selling them & being thumped by rivals). As for Wenger given all the drama last year around his contract he would need to announce its his last season right? Otherwise it will be the same media circus again of if he will sign or not sign which appeared to cause unrest to both him and the team. Personally I think this two year deal is a smokescreen and he may walk this summer.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCW Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Give jaded Jose the heave-ho and get Rafa in. He finally deserves to have a few quid to spend after suffering through those Hicks twats and now poxy Mike Ashley. If Rafa can perform miracles with the likes of Shelvey and Diame, imagine what he'd get out of Pogba, Rashford, Martial etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted April 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 Jardim's the bomb, and one of the most flexible managers around. His Monaco have had both the stingiest defence and deadliest attack in Europe at different points over the last few seasons, all with modest resources. Beating PSG to a league title's up there with Simeone's and Ranieri's as the best managerial feats in the modern game Would kill to see him get the Chelsea job. Shame Poois' shiny fraudulent CV will prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
